Houston spends less per capita on animal control than any other major city in Texas.
The difference in budgets from city to city is striking. For fiscal year 2024, Houston budgeted $15.6 million for BARC. In Dallas, animal services was allocated $18.3 million. In San Antonio, animal care services were just given $28.5 million by City Council in the wake of a fatal mauling in February.
